Adobe has released another round of 2015 updates for its Creative Cloud software plan.
Many of Adobe's apps, including Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC, Illustrator CC, InDesign CC, and Premiere Pro CC are being updated with new Touch capabilities for use on Windows tablets and Apple trackpad devices, Mac Rumors reported. They are receiving minor updates alongside Adobe's video editing apps, with features announced at Adobe MAX.
The company's flagship Photoshop CC receives an enhanced user experience with customizable toolbar and workspace, and touchscreen compatibility for devices such as Microsoft's Surface Pro. It also features a design environment for Web, UI and UX called Design Space, new Artboards features, Glyph panel enhancements, improvements to Creative Cloud Libraries and more.
It has an integrated Fuse CC, an app for quickly building 3D human characters. Fuse is designed for artists of all skill levels, and basically an assembly tool that lets users combine body parts, clothing, textures and more to render realistic characters editable in Photoshop CC. Alongside photography and video, users can print out their renderings with a 3D printer.
Adobe's professional video editing software Premiere Pro features an expanded support for UltraHD formats (DNxHR, HEVC H.265, and OpenEXR) for editing 4K to 8K video footage. Premiere Pro's Optical Flow Time Remapping allows for smooth slow-motion and speed-ramp effects, plus high-quality frame rate conversions. Adobe Premiere Pro is also being updated with HDR support.
Adobe After Effects CC gets Lumetri Color settings introduced in Premiere Pro earlier this year. With Lumetri color support, changes made in Premiere Pro will carry over to After Effects.
Adobe Audition CC includes a new Remix tool for adjusting the duration of a song to match video content. Remix is able to automatically rearrange music to any duration to create custom tracks that fit video creation needs. It is also able to generate synthesized speech in dozens of voices for custom narration and scratch voiceover.
Adobe Creative Cloud products range in price depending on the application or suite being purchased, according to Apple Insider. The Creative Cloud Photography plan, which comes with Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC, starts at $9.99 per month. Each costs $15.99 per month, while an annual plan with access to all apps starts at $39.99 monthly.
